AC reactor

Abstract

An AC reactor according to an embodiment of this disclosure includes a peripheral iron core constituted of partial peripheral iron cores divided by a plurality of dividing surfaces, for enclosing an outer periphery; at least three iron core coils contacting, connected to, or magnetically connected to an inner surface of the peripheral iron core, each of the iron core coils including an iron core and a coil wound around the iron core; and a securing member for securing the partial peripheral iron cores to maintain the peripheral iron core in contact at the dividing surfaces.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An AC reactor comprising:
 a peripheral iron core constituted of partial peripheral iron cores for enclosing an outer periphery of the AC reactor, wherein a plurality of dividing surfaces are located between adjoining partial peripheral iron cores of the peripheral iron core; 
 at least three iron core coils contacting, connected to, or magnetically connected to an inner surface of the peripheral iron core, each of the iron core coils including an iron core and a coil wound around the iron core; and 
 a securing member for securing the partial peripheral iron cores to maintain the peripheral iron core in contact at the dividing surfaces, wherein 
 the partial peripheral iron cores have engaging portions formed at an end of each of the partial peripheral iron cores and configured to engage each partial peripheral iron core at a respective dividing surface, and 
 the securing member is secured to the peripheral iron core with adhesive.
